Entrance Requirements & Selection Process

Eligibility

To be eligible for admission to the Dental Hygiene program, you must meet the following
conditions:

Completed all prerequisites with a GPA of 2.5 or higher before applying for admission

Have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher

All required science classes must have been taken within five years of your application(Virtual or Online labs with science courses WILL NOT be accepted.)

Selection Process

A point system is used to rank applicants. Space is limited to twenty-four new students,
so admission is determined according to ranking. Points are given for:

academics (grades of prerequisite courses only)

work experience, if any

interviews

The top sixty applicants based on points for academics and work experience will be
invited for interviews. Then, the top twenty-four will be invited to enter the program.

There is a waitlist, based on rank, in case an applicant in the top twenty-four does
not enroll. If you are notified that you are on the waitlist, you should stay in close
contact with us. If an admitted student withdraws, an applicant on the waitlist will
be contacted.

Prior to starting the program, you will need to submit documentation showing:

Current First Aid certification must be valid for the entire program (Note: CPR/AED will be taught the second quarter in the dental hygiene program before
treating patients. No need to have current CPR card when applying).
